Kane scored twice, as the Three Lions defeated the Democratic Republic of Congo 2-1 in the Round of 32 on Wednesday.

Thomas Tuchel’s men had fallen behind to a fine finish from Brian Cipenga in the first half.

But Kane struck two late goals to ensure England qualify for the last 16, where they will face co-hosts Mexico.

Kane’s double takes him above Pele on 13 goals at World Cups.

The Bayern Munich striker is also England’s top scorer at the tournament in history.
